Warcraft Movie: Gul'dan and Durotan Spotlight Videos, Yogscast Cameo, Reception

Recommended Posts

AMyoWOt.jpg

USA Today concluded its week of presenting the protagonists of Warcraft with its videos on Gul'dan and Durotan. Now, all we need to do is wait for the movie to be released worldwide!

The Gul'dan featurette was released yesterday. We see the evil warlock, portrayed by Daniel Wu, siphoning the life out of his victims. In my opinion, Gul'dan doesn't come across as evil as he actually is. Obviously, this is just a 1-minute video and in the movie he is probably the badass we all love.

The noble Durotan is the last character to be introduced. The video features some amazing CGI, as well as the whole process of capturing Toby Kebbell's expressions: they actually drew 150 dots on his face each time!

As we reported previously, starting today you can buy the official soundtrack of the movie on iTunes. The whole album costs $9.99 and it is composed by Ramin Djawadi, also known for writing the music of Game of Thrones and several popular movies.

The Yogscast had a hilarious video of their visit to the Warcraft movie set. There, they took directions from director Duncan Jones and actors Toby Kebbell and Rob Kazinsky.

Last time, we also talked about the reactions and the reviews for the movie last time. There is nothing new to report: more or less, critics are being quite negative about it, whereas fans absolutely love it. What's important is that a lot of people see it, so that fans can get the rest of the trilogy Duncan Jones has envisioned. On that front, we have some very good news! In Germany, Warcraft had the best launch day of the year (source), while in China it is expected to be one of the most best-selling movies ever (source).

If you have watched the movie, let us know what you think of it! Personally, I still have to wait ten more days for it!

I meant to add this in the article, but currently articles with tweets are so buggy so I didn't dare breaking it.

Variety also reports that Warcraft had a very strong opening in 11 countries, grossing out 9.3 million dollars!

the movie sold based on the hype and the strong build up since last year announcement i stay at a neutral  verdict towards the movie and i had my fare share of mixed reviews starting from hard core fans to people who just love good entertainment over all but regarding the best selling and best opening across regions is basically built on the anticipation rather than the reviews from people/critics or what quality this movie holds but what am relieved  about is that they did not ruin the legacy and the philosophy of what warcraft tend to produce so as far as am concerned its all good

Definitely, reviews aren't tied to how much a movie sells, although they can definitely affect it on a smaller scale.

Like you said, it's all the hype and the build-up and fans waiting for it. It's also the first big movie of the summer and it's lucky that there is no other movie (like a superhero movie) that has been scheduled to release at the same time.

Didn't they actually change the release date so it didn't clash with a superhero movie? BvS maybe?

@Blainie

It was supposed to be released during the same week as Star Wars VII back in December (that would have been a disaster). Then they put it on March, then - I don't know why - they delayed it for end of May/beginning of June.

      Executive Producer Holly Longdale teased some upcoming experimental PvE-focused content that Blizzard will soon reveal to the community.
      It appears that Plunderstorm isn't the only new mode Blizzard plans to add to WoW this year.
      Holly Longdale today teased an upcoming PvE-oriented event that will soon be revealed to us. Holly might be talking about the "Timerunning Pandamonium," expected in Patch 10.2.7.

      Greetings Citizens of Azeroth,
      It’s been great seeing so many players taking the plunge into Plunderstorm and we’ve loved seeing all of the stories and feedback as this experimental event evolves. It will be exciting to see some of the community content creators going head-to-head as duos during the Plunderstorm Creator Royale on March 30!  This isn’t the end of the things we want to try in World of Warcraft, however, and we have more in store we can’t wait to show you.
      Dragonflight Season 4 is in route as testing begins on the PTR and we’ll have more news to share soon™ on the next experiment we have up our sleeves. We hope those of you who are looking for PvE focused content will enjoy what we’re planning, all while we continue to press forward on development of our next expansion for World of Warcraft— The War Within.
      We can’t wait to share with you all the many things the team has been hard at work on.
      With gratitude and excitement for what we’ll do together next,
      Holly Longdale

      We've looked at the Mythic+ Tier List for the first time in Patch 10.2.6!
      DISCLAIMER
      The following post is based on data from U.GG. Therefore, the data presented here may differ from Petko's Mythic Tier Lists maintained on our site.
      How the Data is Calculated
      U.GG's tier list is created by evaluating damage and healing scores from the very best players and factoring in the frequency of each spec's appearances in the highest rankings of the current Mythic+ season. The tier list of each spec is determined by its effectiveness and prevalence at the highest levels of Mythic+ play.
